Mountain Biking Africa

Singletrack Safari

Lean Times

9 / 10

Horse-like mountain zebra have smaller hooves than other zebra species, for less contact with the sometimes searing desert floor. Their reflective white bellies have also evolved to reflect heat. But the current drought in Namibia is taking its toll on the population. Grazers are having a hard time finding food; browsers like elephants are skinny but not starving, and have split into smaller family units for feeding.
